RJ Sankara Eye Hospital conducted an interactive awareness session on “Healthy Eyes” and “Career Prospects in Ophthalmology” at Sant Atulanand Residential Academy.
The session, led by Dr. Divya Bhargavi, benefited approximately 100 students and created valuable awareness around eye care and the importance of early prevention.
The session aimed to educate students on maintaining good eye health, understanding common eye problems and adopting preventive practices from an early age. Through demonstrations, students were engaged in discussions around eye hygiene, digital eye strain, nutrition for healthy vision, early detection of eye issues and preventive eye care practices.
In addition to eye health awareness, the session also introduced students to career prospects in ophthalmology, offering insights into opportunities within the field and sparking curiosity among participants about careers in healthcare and vision sciences. Students were also given an overview of the services offered by Sankara Eye Hospital and the institution’s commitment to accessible and quality eye care.
Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Divya Bhargavi said, “Through this session, we aimed to help students understand the importance of eye hygiene, prevention and early attention to vision concerns, while also introducing them to the exciting possibilities within ophthalmology as a career.”
This initiative is part of RJ Sankara Eye Hospital’s broader mission to promote eye health awareness at the community level through regular outreach programs in schools and institutions. Similar awareness sessions are planned in other educational institutions as part of the hospital’s continued efforts to educate and empower young minds on the importance of vision care.
